Sculptra and Skin Boosters work together to address both the structure and the surface of ageing skin, making them one of the most powerful non-surgical anti-ageing combinations available in Mayfair and Central London. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem, this duo is used to restore lost volume, soften lines, improve skin quality and deliver a fresher, rested look without obvious signs of “having work done”.
Sculptra gradually stimulates your own collagen to rebuild the deeper scaffolding of the face, while Skin Boosters such as Profhilo and 70 Hyal deeply hydrate and smooth the skin from within. Used together in a precise, doctor-led treatment plan, they can subtly lift the cheeks, soften folds, improve crepey texture and support long-term skin health. Results develop over weeks to months, look extremely natural and can last well over a year.
If you are noticing early jowls, fine lines, dullness or that “tired” look and want something more effective than skincare but gentler than surgery, this combination can be tailored around your unique facial anatomy and lifestyle at our Pall Mall aesthetic clinic serving Mayfair, St James’s, Westminster and the wider Central London area.
Introduction: A modern, natural approach to ageing
Many women in their 30s, 40s and 50s come to Alcove Aesthetics saying the same thing: “I still feel like me, but my face looks tired, deflated and uneven.” Traditional fillers alone can sometimes over-focus on one area and risk a “done” look if not used carefully.
The Sculptra and Skin Booster combination is different. It focuses on rebuilding what time has taken away – collagen, elasticity and deep hydration – rather than simply “filling” lines. Under the care of Dr Goziem Onuchukwu, BDS, MSc (Aesthetic Medicine), a GDC registered dentist with over 7 years’ experience and more than 1,000 patients treated, the aim is always discreet, age-appropriate rejuvenation.
For those working or socialising in Mayfair, Pall Mall, Westminster and the surrounding Central London areas, this approach offers a subtle yet powerful way to look fresher and more confident, while still looking like yourself.
What It Is & How It Works
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medicine for decades. Unlike traditional Sculptra behaves more like a seed than a filler.
- It is injected in strategic points in the deeper layers of the skin.
- Over several weeks, it stimulates your fibroblast cells to produce new collagen.
- The initial water in the product is absorbed, leaving behind your own collagen network.
This gradual process improves facial structure and lift from within, helping:
- Hollow or flat cheeks
- Mild jowling and loss of jawline definition
- Deep folds such as nasolabial lines and marionette lines
- General facial laxity and “deflation”
Because results build slowly, the change is subtle and progressive – ideal if you want friends to notice you look well, but not know why.
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin Boosters such as Profhilo and 70 Hyal are ultra-pure hyaluronic acid injectables designed not to “fill” but to hydrate, plump and remodel the skin from within.
They are placed very superficially to:
- Improve fine lines and crepiness
- Boost glow and radiance
- Enhance elasticity and firmness
- Strengthen the skin barrier over time
Profhilo, for example, spreads like honey under the skin, attracting water and stimulating collagen and elastin. 70 Hyal offers high-level hydration and is often used for dull or dehydrated skin.
Why combine Sculptra with Skin Boosters?
Ageing affects multiple layers of the face:
- Bone and deep fat pads shrink and shift.
- Collagen and elastin reduce.
- Skin becomes thinner, drier and less elastic.
Sculptra targets the deeper structural layers, gradually rebuilding collagen and soft tissue support. Skin Boosters work closer to the surface, restoring glow, texture and elasticity.
Combined in a tailored plan:
- Sculptra quietly lifts and supports the face.
- Skin Boosters refine the surface, smooth fine lines and add luminosity.
At Alcove Aesthetics, all treatments are doctor-administered by award-winning Skin Aesthetics Specialist of the Year 2025, Dr Goziem, who carefully sequences the treatments to optimise both safety and outcome.

Treatment Journey
1. In-depth consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at our Mayfair-adjacent Pall Mall clinic:
- Medical history and current medications are reviewed.
- Concerns (for example tired eyes, sagging jawline, crepey cheeks) are explored in detail.
- Photographs and facial analysis help identify where volume, collagen and hydration have been lost.
You will discuss whether Sculptra and Skin Boosters alone are ideal, or whether complementary treatments such as PRP or targeted wrinkle treatments might be appropriate.
A personalised treatment plan is then created, including:
- Number of Sculptra vials and sessions
- Choice of Skin Booster (Profhilo or 70 Hyal)
- Treatment sequencing and spacing
- Expected timeline of results and maintenance
2. On the day of treatment
- Your skin is cleansed thoroughly.
- Photographs may be taken for your confidential medical record.
- A topical numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be used to enhance comfort.
Sculptra is placed at carefully mapped points, usually using a fine needle or cannula. Skin Boosters are then placed in the superficial layers in a series of small deposits or specific injection patterns, depending on the product.
Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful and are usually able to return to normal activities the same day.
3. Follow-up and review
Because results evolve, follow-ups are an important part of your journey:
- Sculptra is often performed over 2–3 sessions, several weeks apart.
- Skin Boosters are typically performed as 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, with maintenance as advised.
- Review appointments allow Dr Goziem to assess progress, refine your plan and ensure your result remains balanced and natural.
Recovery & Aftercare
Downtime with Sculptra and Skin Boosters is usually minimal:
- Mild redness, swelling or small bumps at injection points can occur and typically settle within 24–72 hours.
- Bruising is possible and may take a few days to clear.
- Makeup can usually be worn the next day, if the skin is intact.
You will receive tailored aftercare instructions, which may include:
- Gentle massage of treated areas after Sculptra, as directed
- Avoiding strenuous exercise, heat (saunas, steam) and alcohol for 24 hours
- Good sun protection to protect your skin investment
Sculptra results typically begin to show from 4–6 weeks, building over several months. Skin Boosters often give an earlier glow within 1–2 weeks, with progressive improvement over repeated sessions.

- Sculptra: from £350 (1 vial), £650 (2 vials), £1,200 (4 vials)

FAQ: Sculptra and Skin Boosters in London
Are Sculptra and Skin Boosters safe?
When performed by an experienced medical professional, Sculptra and Skin Boosters have a strong safety profile. At Alcove Aesthetics, all procedures are doctor-administered, with careful screening at consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate. As with any injectable, there are risks, which will be explained in full before you decide to proceed.
How painful is the treatment?
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. Fine needles or cannulas, topical numbing and careful technique are used to keep you comfortable. Any tenderness usually settles within a day or two.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Skin Boosters often give an early improvement in glow and hydration within 1–2 weeks. Sculptra results build more slowly, usually from 4–6 weeks, with optimal results often seen after a series of sessions. Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating effects can last around 18–24 months, while Skin Booster benefits typically last around 6–12 months, depending on lifestyle and skin type.
Am I a good candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Notice early sagging, “deflation” or loss of contour in the mid and lower face
- Have fine lines, dullness or crepey skin on the face, neck or décolleté
- Prefer a gradual, natural improvement rather than an instant, dramatic change
- Are medically suitable and not pregnant or breastfeeding
A detailed Skin Consultation with Dr Goziem is essential to confirm if this is the right combination for you.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to complement Sculptra and Skin Boosters with targeted wrinkle-relaxing treatments, bespoke Dermal Fillers in specific areas, or collagen-boosting procedures such as microneedling or regenerative therapies. Your individual plan will always prioritise safety, facial harmony and natural results.
